Chapter 2703: Chapter 2703: Dan Tingye Becoming a Stranger (8)

"Speaking of this, I’m utterly aggrieved. Let me lie down for a bit, and once I’ve regained my energy, I’ll tell you." Jiang Nan entered the living room, headed straight for the sofa, and lay down, clutching a pillow tightly and rolling around a few times.

"Yesterday, I accompanied Tingye to a social event and helped him secure a big deal, but he actually ran off halfway through, leaving me alone, almost drinking myself under the table. That’s one thing, but I overslept today and wanted to take the day off, yet he refused my request!"

Jiang Nan climbed up from the sofa angrily, pointing at his dark circles.

"Meimei, look, look at these! I’m practically a panda, and he still won’t let me take a day off."

"Pfft—"

Meimei burst into laughter at his exaggerated expression and, seeing his face fall, quickly explained.

"I didn’t mean it; it’s just that you looked really funny just now."

"I’m being quite serious!" Jiang Nan clutched his chest and fell backward, a face of utter desolation, "Me, the esteemed Mr. Jiang, reduced to this state—I’m completely heartbroken."

"Oh please, without this, you couldn’t become a national treasure!" Meimei stepped forward, scrutinized his panda eyes up and down, and patted his shoulder.

"Don’t worry, you’re still handsome! With your chocolate stash, you’ll definitely be able to charm the girls!"

"..."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Nan perked up, instantly climbing off the sofa, capturing her hand, "Are you telling the truth, not deceiving me?"

"Absolutely!" Meimei nodded eagerly.

With his status as Mr. Jiang, even if he were disfigured, there’d still be a long line of women wanting to marry him—he really shouldn’t worry.

"And what about you?" Jiang Nan narrowed his alluring eyes, fixing them steadily on her, an unreadable gleam in his eyes.

"Could my chocolate stash win you over?"

"..."

Meimei’s body stiffened. Meeting his serious gaze, she froze.

She tried to withdraw her hand, but Jiang Nan wouldn’t release her grip, just held her tightly.

"Answer me, if it were you, and I brought all the world’s chocolate before you, could I win you over?"

"Smack—"

As Jiang Nan’s words landed, Meimei instantly raised her hand and smacked him hard on the forehead, knocking him back onto the sofa.

Hands on her hips, "Serves you right for spouting nonsense! This is what Youyou taught me, being merciless when needed!"

"Why are you as violent as Youyou, that tomboy! I was just joking, and now my head’s spinning." Jiang Nan rubbed his forehead, lying rigidly on the sofa, pretending to be dead.

Meimei waited for a while, seeing no response, hurriedly walked up.

"Jiang Nan, are you okay? You’re so cheeky with your words; I didn’t mean to hit you." Meimei extended her hand to pull him up, but he gripped her wrist, pulled hard, and dragged her onto the sofa.

"Haha, fooled you, didn’t I? I’m the princess’s knight; how could I be defeated so easily? I just wanted to see if you were really as ruthless as the Little Chili and would leave me."

Turns out, his Meimei is indeed much softer than that Little Chili; she even cares about him.

Thinking of Little Chili, he really does miss her a bit.
